Trump calls female reporter ‘stupid person’ after challenging him on National Guard shooting claims
Trump blasts female reporter for being 'stupid' after questioning him on DC shooting
Donald Trump called a female reporter "stupid" after she questioned his claims about a shooting in Washington DC.
Trump had linked the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, to Joe Biden's Operation Allies Welcome scheme, alleging improper vetting of Afghan nationals.
The reporter challenged Trump's assertion that the Biden administration had improperly vetted those brought into the US.
Trump responded by asking the reporter if she was "a stupid person" and claimed thousands of people who "shouldn't be here" arrived on planes.
This incident follows a similar event on 18 November, when Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey to be "quiet, piggy" after she asked about Jeffrey Epstein.
